Bass Fishing Tournaments

The West — while not so wild anymore — is distinctly different than the East. Folks on both coasts acknowledge this. The same holds true in East versus West bassin'. The West's Japanese influence means they see the innovative baits and techniques of the Far East first. The Snag Proof opens are a series of tournaments with the serious angler in mind, held on some of the most productive lakes in the country, these tournaments provide tthe environment for big sacks.
